Frequently asked questions

What is the Gear Change Selector Shaft Spring (217445) used for?
The Gear Change Selector Shaft Spring acts on the gearbox selector shaft, providing the spring load that biases the shaft and helps return it to the neutral plane during gear selection. It's a Genuine internal gearbox component for the Land Rover Series 1 and Series 2 and 3 gearboxes.
How many selector shaft springs do I need for a gearbox rebuild?
Typically one selector shaft spring is fitted per gearbox, acting on the single selector shaft. If you're rebuilding a Series 1 or Series 2 and 3 gearbox it's usually worth replacing this spring while the box is stripped, since access later means dismantling again.
What are the signs the selector shaft spring needs replacing?
A weak or broken selector shaft spring typically shows as vague gear selection or the lever not settling cleanly into the neutral plane on Series gearboxes. It's a low-cost internal part usually renewed during any gearbox rebuild to restore positive selection.
